Use of waste plastic to enhance the property of modified bitumen pavement

The construction of flexible pavement is most commonly done by the bituminous mix. It constitutes asphalt or bitumen acting as a binder and is mixed with aggregate which is compacted after being laid in layers. The conventional bituminous pavement with proper design and execution under usual circumstances gives satisfactory results, but often in various conditions, the performance is very low. With the increased volume of traffic, increased loads, and variation in seasonal as well as daily temperature the asphaltic concrete pavements have shown better performance. On the contrary, the performance of bituminous pavement is very low in damped conditions. On considering these factors the modification of bitumen and the addition of polymer in bitumen has been an alternative. Experiments have been conducted and inferred that the addition of polymer to binders has helped to increase the cohesive bond between the binder and aggregate which in turn has improved the characteristics of asphalt pavement to meet the growing need. The additive used to modify the mix must satisfy the essential strength as well as economic aspects. India has rapid use of plastic in its lifestyle and is increasing day by day. These are major threats to society and management is another major issue. The use of recycled material in road pavement is one of the most innovative forms of sustainability. Thin bags are mainly composed of low-density polyethylene which is used for packing, protecting, and many applications. The Low-Density Polyethylene which is one of the polymers when experimented has indicated the potential of enriching the asphalt mixture. The study aims to add a varying percentage of the polymer as an aggregate coat and to find the optimum percentage by weight of polymer to be added to the mix. A comparison is to be done between the conventional and polymer-added mix to find the difference in rheological properties between them. The prospect of the experiment is to know that the addition of polymer (mainly waste plastic) results in an improvement in the properties of the road which results in minimization of maintenance of road work which in turn is economical. It is also expected to substantially reduce the volume of environmentally hazardous plastic and environmental pollution.

Advanced autoscaling and team tenancy for Hadoop job clusters

Hadoop has a powerful framework to process large distributed data across distributed nodes. Hadoop Data Lake empowers users of different streams like engineers, data scientists, and analysts in an organization. Slicing and dicing of data, complex computations can be expressed and built with Query Language and don’t need the expertise or knowledge of Map-Reduce or Spark jobs. Once the complex logic is expressed as a query and the query is scheduled to run in a regular cadence, the cluster can be auto-scaled based on applications running at a given time rather than running a static big cluster. In a multi-tenant cluster, where autoscaling is performed, resources should be isolated and dedicated to achieve multi-tenancy. Dedicated resources will drive attributing costs to a specific team/tag. Dedicated resources also solve the noisy neighbor problem. This paper details the architecture, algorithm, and framework to allow multi-tenant job clusters to achieve team tenancy and auto-scale the cluster seamlessly.

Comprehensive analysis and comparison of the structural properties of aluminium alloy wheels

This paper is an research study about the comprehensive analysis of the structural properties of aluminium alloy wheels commonly used in the automotive industry. Finite element analysis was performed to simulate the behaviour of the wheels under the different load conditions, taking into account the geometry. Some of the basic materials are selected as widely used in the industry like AA 6061-T6, AA 6082-T6, AA 7075-T6 and AA 6063-T835. The results of the analysis show that the wheels are capable of withstanding the stresses and strains imposed on them during normal operation are compared with the other material structural results. By this approach the best aluminium alloy material AA 7075-T6 is selected hence the deflection under the condition of load is very less. Further the structural deformation for the best material is studied for the change in design of the aluminium wheel to overcome the structural deformation. An triangular ribs are used to resist the deformation by increasing the strength.

Comparative study of compaction characteristics of Shyorana village soil, Bharatpur using red stone dust and eggshell powder

Soil stabilization is a crucial technique in civil engineering to enhance the mechanical properties of soil for construction purposes. This study investigates the potential of utilizing red stone dust and eggshell waste as additives for the analysis of compaction characteristics of Shyorana village soil in the district of Bharatpur Rajasthan. Red stone dust, a byproduct of stone-crushing activities, and eggshell waste, generated from culinary and food processing industries, both pose environmental challenges in terms of disposal. This research aims to address these challenges by assessing their effectiveness as stabilizing agents while promoting sustainability. Laboratory experiments were conducted to evaluate the impact of varying proportions of red stone dust and eggshells on soil properties. Standard proctor tests were performed on soil samples treated with different combinations of red stone dust and eggshells. The results were compared with untreated soil to determine the improvements in dry density. The findings demonstrated that the incorporation of red stone dust led to increased compaction indicating enhanced load-bearing capacity and reduced susceptibility to deformation. Moreover, the combination of red stone dust and eggshell exhibited synergistic effects, further enhancing the overall stabilization efficiency. In addition to the technical performance, environmental considerations were also addressed. The utilization of waste materials like red stone dust and eggshells offers a sustainable solution by minimizing their disposal as waste and reducing the demand for conventional stabilizing agents. This approach aligns with the principles of circular economy and promotes eco-friendly construction practices.

Factors preventing undergraduate students in Mumbai, Maharashtra from investing

The broad objective of this research paper is to ascertain the factors preventing undergraduate students in Mumbai, Maharashtra, from investing. The specific objectives under this include determining the impact of age, gender, and annual income of the student’s family, on the factors preventing these undergraduate students from investing. The survey technique of research was used, and the primary tool for gathering data was the questionnaire. The study design is “Explanatory” in nature. It can serve as a starting point for more in-depth studies. The Chi-square test was used for analysing the data. Out of the sample population for the survey, a sample size of 215 respondents has been taken into consideration. The chi-square test was used to determine whether a difference between observed data and expected data is due to chance, or if it is due to a relationship between the variables you are studying. It was observed that age played a factor in the market volatility and influence on peers while gender affected the risk and market volatility. It was also found annual income does not affect risk appetite and age does not impact the complexity of the market as a factor preventing investment. Investing is an important part of financial literacy that undergraduate students should consider, but there are several factors that deter them from doing so. This paper explores these factors in detail, including limited financial resources, a lack of knowledge about investment, fear of risk and uncertainty, gender influences, and the impact of peers on decision-making. It is crucial to understand these factors to help students overcome the barriers to investing and achieve financial success in the long run.
